News: Liriano's reported re-signing with the Pirates on Tuesday is not a done deal, general manager Neal Huntington told MLB Network Radio. "We're working to push it to the finish line," Huntington said.

Impact: It was earlier reported that Liriano re-signed for three years, $39 million. Apparently there are a few details holding up the agreement, but those snags are not expected to blow up the deal.

News: Liriano re-signed with the Pirates on Tuesday, agreeing to a three-year, $39 million deal, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Impact: Liriano, who unsurprisingly declined Pittsburgh's qualifying offer last month, will return to the Pirates on the multi-year deal he was believed to be seeking all along. He finished last season 7-10 with a 3.38 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 162.1 innings. The 31-year-old closed out the regular season strongly, going 4-0 in the month of September (five starts) while allowing just four earned runs and striking out 35 in 31.0 cumulative innings.

News: Liriano and the Pittsburgh Pirates have finalized a $39 million, three-year contract. The deal, agreed to at the winter meetings, was announced Friday. General manager Neal Huntington says the team will continue to look for help in the rotation but is pleased with the pitching depth as it is with spring training still two months away.

Impact: Liriano is 23-18 with a 3.20 ERA in two seasons in Pittsburgh, helping the Pirates to consecutive playoff berths. The 31-year-old will rejoin the top end of a rotation that includes Gerrit Cole and A.J. Burnett, who signed a one-year deal to return to the Pirates last month after spending 2014 in Philadelphia. Liriano gets a $2 million signing bonus as part of his $39 million, three-year contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
